During 2024-2025, significant building work will be carried out to create two independent schools on the Overnomow site. The new part of Ysgol Gymraeg Trefynwy is expected to open in September 2025, and will have an initial capacity of 90, with a planned expansion to 210 by 2032, as stated in the latest WESP (Welsh in Education Strategic Plan). Building plans will be available which show the planned work which is due to start soon.
We have 12 pupils from Nursery to Year 1 already registered and ready to start their education through the medium of Welsh, which is an exciting and historic moment for the town of Monmouth. A thriving Ti a Fi Group, under an inspiring leader meets locally, and from 2025 it is planned to open a Cylch Meithrin with full wraparound provision in the school.
